OKAY WOW
This is amazing! I love how the song is rearranged so it's kinda Reggae-ish! with saxophones... i'm so there!
The definitive version of this song.
I was totally there that night!!!!!!!!!!! this gave the audience chills...... amazing!
This version is simply spectacular. I think I may love it more than the original which is amazing. Breathtaking!
It's not fair for so much talent AND beauty to be in one person.
making those high notes look effortlessly 😍 #teachmeyourways
love her! she's the niece of my old gym coach. lol
Crystal clear notes
I love Anika Noni Rose
I was also totally there that night! I love how much fun he is having at the piano all the time....
Luv her she seems so down to earth!
Girlfriend can blow! She should do more big screen movies!
Just awesome! Anika is fabulous! The band sounds great!
SING GURL SAAAAANG!!! #Slay
She is so beautiful.
Just beautiful! And talented! I love this woman!
Apparently Tom Cruise went insane, so he had to change it to "With some very well placed tattoos."
Anika Noni Rose is a GODDESS and someone please put up the other songs she sang in this show PLEASE!!! Especially "Still Hurting"??? ANYONE PLEASE????
She has a huge voice
DAMN! JRB + ANR = WIN!!!
This is lovely!! Anika Noni Rose is the best!!
love her...
YAAAAAAS MAMAAAAAA !!!!!!
I think this performance is so wonderful!
I'm loving the funky beat.
This song saved my life today, thank you JRB and ANR!!! :)
No one ladies' detective agency!
she is so Beautiful
Amazing. So impressive!!
Best version
This is the first time I've ever seen a post from a friend on Facebook and then gone to the actual page for the video to like it. I love The Last 5 Years that much. Even without that I absolutely love her voice.
omg... obsessed.
I love you Noni!
I am going to your concert on March 31!! i CANNOT wait!!!! :D You guys are such inspirations
she's the best!
I also really really really really really really love Anika singing this. She is flawless, no doubt.
AMAZING! Very nicely done.
wow great voice!!!
I saw her in the showing in london and she was...AMAZING!!! love her and JRB
FANtastic! Miss Anika is just one of the greatest acting talents around these days, and then her singing and incredible beauty! Loved her as Grace on HBO's "The #1 Ladies Detective Agency" (if you never saw the series, seek it out--great stuff). Plus, she breaks my heart on the "Caroline, or Change" cast recording. THEN, we get JRB and a kick-ass band--heaven!
I love this
I saw her sing this with Jason last night in London. Utterly magnificent!
She didn’t need to snap on anybody like that omg ❤️
YAS
Fun Fact: Did you know that actually Anika Noni Rose was also the original voice actress for Tianna in the Disney animated movie called "the princess and the frog"?
i love her, she's one of the most amazing singer
yes just yes
The STAR of Dreamgirls!
thanks for posting!
My queen 😍😍😍
amazing i love her...
She's so freakin' cute!
Tiana's doing better than that, baby!
You better play that horn boy!
@BeLoudBeProud Actually all the women you are referring to were cast as understudies or stand-bys. There has yet to be a "black" Elphaba as the sole lead on Broadway. However there was Alexis Khadime in the West End.
"With some very well placed tattoos" is a nice way to dodge the now anachronous "You might say looked like Tom Cruise" - suave, JRB!
Eu adoraria ouvi-la com a Erivo
She is so cute
@SPsokrbaby1 she was on dream girls too
To tell you the truth, I like this version better than Sherie Renee Scott's. Not that SRS isn't great, but this version has more sass! :)
@me148 I see what your saying but keep in mind its NOT a production the last 5 years, its Jason Robert Brown in concert with Anika Noni Rose so the story does not need to be conveyed as much as in the production of Last 5 years.
i could totally see this bein a reggae mix....or should i say "hear" lol =)
@ballershanelle It has been done several times before.
Caroline :)
I know Saycon Sengbloh was early on, wasn't she? Or was she an understudy? And, I know Mandy Gonzalez, who I know is hispanic not black, was post-ITH. I think Brandi Chavonne Massey was. Nicole Parker was on the tour. I know I'm missing one, but I'd be willing to bet that my mind is playing tricks on me because I didn't know that Teal Wicks was white until after I saw her out of makeup in something else.
When will the black Broadway women be cast as elphie in wicked???? IM thinking ...somebody is worried that it'll blow the mold.
sara tidwell
what show is this from??

what is the lyric change? I can't hear it! Instead of, "Looked like Tom Cruise" she says something else...

"with some very well-placed tattoos." This was also a lyric change in the movie version with Anna Kendrick.
i thought i needed to take some times off and focused on my career...
JRB killin it, Anika Noni Rose sounds wonderful... EXCEPT is this the one night that she can't control her B's? Has anyone noticed that every B she sings in this song is a little off?
haha there are no dislikes
It's reggae L5Y
@me148 no swing, thats 100% funk.
